The result was keep. SNOW is appropriate at this time, given the many policy-based arguments for keeping. Drmies (talk) 15:15, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete,those who medal in children's competitions are not as notable as those who do so in adult ones.(Still no cause of death?) 12.144.5.2 (talk) 19:05, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It hasn't been disclosed, but British Ski and Snowboard referred the media to the Samaritans in a statement.--Pawnkingthree (talk) 19:10, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@12.144.5.2: Your logic is flawed. If that was the case, young Olympic medalists would also not be notable. And CODs could take a long time to be given, if ever. — Wylie pedia @ 04:17, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's not their age that cheapens a child's victory, it's the fewer, relatively undeveloped and less-experienced competitors they're up against. Nothing like beating (or medaling beside) the general best in the world, at any age. Or even the best in your part of the world. InedibleHulk (talk) 05:59, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A young Olympic medalist is notable because she beat the best as opposed to just her age group.12.144.5.2 (talk) 06:23, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
